Wakatobi National Park Adventure And Diving

The Wakatobi National Park (WNP) marine protected area (13,900 km2) was formed in 1996, and includes the atolls and islands of the Tukang Besi Archipelago. The support for the formation of WNP was based on the park’s position in the centre of the Wallacea Region — a biodiversity ”hot spot”2,3,4, and the relatively low level of subsistence and commercial fishing on the 50,000 ha of coral reef within the park. Since its wellintended start, WNP languished as a paper park, suffering from a lack of funding, continued destructive fishing practices, and complacent park rangers and management (Elliott et al. 2001; Clifton 2003).

Furthermore, there has been limited success in addressing the dipolar needs of expanding local resource use and centralised WNP management objectives. In 2003 a new Head of WNP was appointed and WNP was selected for the Indonesian government’s Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program (COREMAP), which aims to develop co-management of reef fisheries in Indonesia. Since 2001, Operation Wallacea has examined various aspects of fisheries around Kaledupa, as part of volunteer programmes, and as ongoing monitoring studies. This work is being put forward as part of a fisheries co-management programme evolving from the WNP, COREMAP and TNC/WWF.

History and Culture

Within WNP there are two socially-segregated ethnic groups: the Orang Bajo (Bajo People), who speak Bahasa Sama, and the Orang Palo (Island People), who speak Bahasa Pulo. Originally, the Bajo were sea nomads living on boats throughout the Malay Archipelago, whose livelihoods and culture were based on subsistence fishing (Djohani 1996; Sather 1997). The Palo are decedents of nearby ethnic Butonese and were predominantly land dwellers, practicing both fishing and farming. In addition the Palo have a strong maritime history as sea traders and pirates, possessing many large wooden sail boats called sopes (Schoorl 1986), which traditionally formed the bulk of the Sultan of Buton’s fleet.

However, these seemingly unassociated ethnic groups appear to have cohabited the area, as flood stories
in both folk histories tell of a split in one people, the Bajo travelling far out to the sea and the Palo climbing the highest peaks.

Adventure And Diving

Bajo and Palo fish folk taxa were collected during creel and onboard surveys of all fishing techniques
used on the reef flat, crest and wall in the waters around Kaledupa Island between 2001 and 2004. Fish names were re-corrected for misidentification and pronunciation initially, and where confusion arose, fishers were interviewed for clarification. All interviews were conducted in fishers’ respective languages with experienced interpreters.

During all interviews, folk taxa were checked using the illustrations in Allen (2000) and Lieske and Myers (1996), and photographs in Allen et al. (2003). If there was no general consensus for a species-specific folk taxon, only well known folk taxa for the generic groups were recorded. Most common English names were
taken from Allen (2000), as it was found to be very comprehensive for WNP, good for identification of most species, and easy to use for referencing. Etymological translations were obtained from local Bajo and Palo translators who worked closely on fisheries surveys between 2001 and 2004.

During creel and onboard surveys, 313 species of bony fish (dayahb: kentap)5 were recorded, for which
229 individual Bajo and 199 individual Palo folk taxa were identified (Appendix I). There were around 40 commonly caught species that most fishers could readily identify, beyond which identification became ambiguous. Consequently, the folk taxa displayed in Appendix I represent the collective knowledge of fishers, not the general ability of fishers to identify folk taxa, which improved with age and fishing experience.

Generic group lexemes were defined as those identified by fishers to have an appreciated generic value, though not necessarily with a known translation. There are 53 and 54 generic group lexemes that represent 43% and 40% of the caught species in Bajo and Palo, respectively. A further 8% and 3%, respectively, of
caught species appeared to have generic values that were not identified by fishers. The use of speciesidentifying primary lexemes generally corresponds to species with clearly identifying features and does not appear to be related to locally desirable species.

However, identification of infrequently caught nontarget species (i.e. damsel fish), was not possible below generic groups, mostly because fishers’ appeared to have little interest in such species.

Tarsius Viewing Range Tangkoko National Park Native In Sulawesi

History Tangkoko National Park and Tarsius Spectrum

Trace the history, in this Tangkoko National Park Alfred Russel Wallace set foot in the 1850s. That said, this great scientist fascinated with the Maleo and Babi Rusa. As information, from exploring the archipelago around 1850 until the 1860s, he observed that based on the spread of wildlife there are large differences between India and Australia. That's why Wallace made imaginary line became the boundary between west and east, starting from the strait between Kalimantan and Sulawesi, continue south in the strait between Bali and Lombok.

 This imaginary line known as the Wallace Line, which distinguish the various species in the west and the east side. Later, the letters and papers sent Wallace to Charles Darwin in the UK, spurred Darwin to write the Origin of Species as the embryo of the theory of evolution.

If you want to visit the Tangkoko National Park, you better get there after 3 pm. Because at that hour this afternoon will be easier for you if you want to see Tarsier, the smallest primate in the world. Actually not only Tarsius in this national park. According to records, there are 26 species of mammals, 180 species of birds and 15 species of reptiles and amphibians.


Shortly after we entered the forest area, we were greeted by the monkey Macaca Nigra, or Black Sulawesi or Yaki in the local language. This is the Tarsier, Tarsius Spectrum with its Latin name, species endemic to Sulawesi, which you will not find on other islands. It belongs to a nocturnal animal, which used to operate in the stillness of the night foraging.

The food is fruit and small insects, usually live clustered in tree holes. Satisfied Tarsier watching and taking pictures we were heading back home to enter. Apparently a different route when we came in, we have to pass Coast Tangkoko that looks beautiful with his trademark black sand beach.

Similar to the one in Palau, it is home to millions of (non-stinging) jellyfish and a host of other exotic life, including some species found no where else in the world.

Due to its unique location, a visit to Sangalaki can be accomplished in conjunction with a trip to Mabul, with exciting land touring options available throughout Borneo and Malaysia. It can just as easily be made a prime component of a trip to Bali and Indonesia. In either case, the traveler must make their way to the International Airport at Balikpapan, the major city on the Indonesian state of Kalimantan. From there, a representative will assist with the small plane flight continuing on to coastal city of Tanjung Redeb in the Berau district.

Nusa Dua Beach

Nusa Dua Beach is located approximately 40 km south of Denpasar, the provincial capital of Bali.

The place name Nusa Dua can be used in two ways: either it can refer to the entire eastern side of the Bukit Peninsula at the southern tip of Bali, or it can refer to the purpose-built, safe and rather sterile tourist enclave (Kawasan Pariwisata, quite literally Tourism District) at the southeast side of this peninsula. 

This article covers everything in the Nusa Dua enclave plus the Tanjung Benoa peninsula and a few points west of the enclave to the village of Sawangan. Everything on the Bukit Penisula to the west of Sawangan is covered by the Uluwatu article. 

As well as a host of luxury hotels, Nusa Dua is home to the most popular golf course in Bali and the main convention centre on the island. 

Nusa Dua understandably gets a lot of bad press amongst travelers as it is so artificial and sanitised. That does not change the fact though that the beaches here are glorious - white sand, deep, long and safe for swimming. The public beach at Geger is the best to head to if you are not staying at Nusa Dua. This is also home to one of the best museums in Bali. The fact that it is nearly always empty is testament that most visitors who stay here in the least Balinese part of the island are, not unsurprisingly, rather disinterested in learning much about Bali. 

The Nusa Dua enclave has three manned gates and everyone entering is subject to a security search. This can have a slightly claustrophobic effect, and only contributes further to the impression that you are in an artificial location. [source : Nusa Dua]
